Hampton Road Protected Bike Lane – Design

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link


Welcome to your online hub for any information relating to the development of the Hampton Road Bike Lane Project. For the 2021-22 year, the project is in the design phase.


The project began long before funding from the West Australian Bicycle Network was awarded in 2021/22. The current scope of the funding is to establish a constructable design for protected bike lanes on Hampton Road from Ord Street to Wray Avenue.

It is anticipated that funding for construction be refined and a budget request generated for 2023/24 while further design work is done on the next section of Hampton Road.

For more information on this project please contact our traffic engineering team via email info@fremantle.wa.gov.au or phone 1300 693 736.

    The document provided by the City that is linked to from this page is very hard to read/navigate through with information dense diagrams and very small writing. Are you able to provide something more understandable to non-engineers? Many thanks.

    The engineering drawings can be simplified to offer the salient information and this is something the City Of Fremantle will produce for distribution. In the interim, staff would be more than happy to go through the technical drawings one-on-one. Please contact the City for an appointment.

    Is there a plan to do something about part of this road that is actually dangerous rather than rehashing perfectly fine bike lanes over and over? Its only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured on Hampton road south of Wray Ave, particularly the South St intersection

    luke.raffaele asked almost 2 years ago

     The project goal is improving the exiting unprotected bike lanes. In their current state, the Hampton Road bike lanes offer a very poor level of safety for cyclists while prioritising vehicle movements along this busy and vital corridor. The project has a secondary goal of traffic calming Hampton Road to improve the vehicle safety aspect.

    Does this mean that you are taking the parking out and putting a bike lane in?

    Bill asked almost 2 years ago

    At present the design has catered for existing on-street and verge parking. Due to the available road reserve width, a hierarchy of facilities such as pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, parking, bus stops, verge gardens, footpaths and traffic lanes needs to be agreed upon.

    Why is that most of these initiatives seem to reduce; parking, convenience of travel to and from town, traffic flow, and inevitable discourage shopping in Fremantle and business except for beer barns and food halls. Basically you have managed to destroy a fabric of Fremantle as a place to do business and foster growth of new small enterprise and encourage the wave of new food and beverage joints that follow the same routine Open - crowded - new opens - empty - closed.

    The end goal of cycle and sustainable transport projects is to allow access for walking, cycling and public transport for local trips as well as connect to neighbouring councils to further strengthen these routes.

    2 Questions: 1. How was the project awarded? If the council is really serious about prioritising pedestrians and cyclists, surely projects need to be managed and informed by experience and knowledge in these areas? Talis appear to be very experienced in building roads that prioritise cars and trucks which would be fantastic for their work on main roads and mine sites. 2. How many senior level staff at FCC ride bikes or take public transport each day to work? Thank you.

    jomo asked almost 2 years ago

    The project was awarded through a WALGA preferred supplier Request for Quotation based on a design brief generated by City of Fremantle. The brief was put out to market and of the responses received, Talis met the criteria for experience, expertise and budget. 

     The project lead cycles locally to and from work.

    Hi I’d like to know how much did they city spend putting in the concrete kerb bike lane in ord st and then how much did they spend ripping it up a few months later Hopefully this won’t be the wasteful as the last attempt And yes I do want to know the figures of how much was wasted
